seriously....will we have pushrods and no third row seat and no cruise control? drum brakes? detuned 3.6? this also opens the door for the other 3 lambdas to get higher output v6's and 8 cylinders now that chevy can take the low end. i wonder if they can cut out some curb weight too.

they needed to sell it as GMC and Buick and Saturn first to bring higher sell prices and more profit margin. wait, when do these hit the showrooms then? This MIGHT be an option for me now if its out before my 500 lease is up and I am am bankrolling GM card money. This could make a lambda doable for me.

college professors across the country celebrate!

i had an 8 track in my electra coupe and had a few 8 tracks the 'click' used to occur during Boston's 'More than a feeling'.

i'm not sure why anyone would want to make meaningless compromises in safety. of course, there are plenty of dumbasses who ride motorcycles without helmets....you know, folks who want their brains destroyed by pavement.

well sh1t, lets remove the a and c pillars too if we don't want to compromise. doors too.

ever since my my first 'new' car, i try to adhere to 3000 miles. there is an audible difference in the way the engine runs when you first get in the car after an oil change. quieter, smoother. winters here especially, you can't exceed 3000. idling in traffic at below zero, you get some thick black tar you gotta get rid of. i could see stretching it out to 4000 or so but the point is why? My engine will last longer on cleaner oil. sometimes by 3000 the oil on the dipstick is thick and black. i've been rewarded by having cars not burn oil. i've maybe purchased a total of 8 quarts of oil for my cars between changes (that's 8 cars in 13 years). whenever i take them in for a change they are almost never down on the dipstick. 15,000 miles a year at 3,000 miles is 5 oil changes. 15,000 a year at 5,000 is 3 oil changes. that saves me maybe 50 bucks, but actually less because they always top off all my other fluids. excluding winter slush, i never need to buy wiper fluid. i save a little there. my oil change at the ford dealer is where they caught my torn cv boot on my 500 and promptly had the appointment set up for the fix the next day. if you are still under warranty and they spot something, its pretty good preventive maintenance as well.

help me out,.....isn't the camaro supposed to have IRS and the 3.6 high feature as well? That, to me, would make a better performance car buy than a pillar. no one ever sits in the back of a pony car or wants the windows down with AC anyways. want a pillarless camaro? there will be a convertible. I never would expect a mustang and camaro to have AWD. a G8 or impala or park avenue? Yes. But pony cars no, so you can stop with your side swipes. as far as a car that gives a BJ, first off, i would want pushbutton start then instead of a key, and i am better off because the person in the front seat would be doing the service.....not the car itself. so.....there.

the impala is a good looking car. congrats to them.

http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?c...6&GT1=10367 more liberal drivel about how there are some ready made engineering cures out there right now to solve everything, including world hunger. ANother useless 'paid blogger' with no answers, just words upon words, with no conclusions, or specific proved suggestions, or validated insight. I would really like to see the proof in the pudding. All those quoted 'answer people' in that article....HOW SPECIFICALLY DO YOU SUGGEST WE CAN EASILY ACHIEVE TODAY WHAT YOU ARE SPOUTING OFF ABOUT AND IF SO, WHY HASN'T ONE OF THE WORLD'S AUTOMAKERS ALREADY DONE IT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? what would an ENVIRONMENTAL engineer know about internal combustion engines or crash structures?

maybe so, but it looks top heavy and short.

yes, the G8 ad was AWESOME

they had an ad in MT also.....where they talked a lot about the design and the interior. proof is in the pudding. the ads are ok and flashy, but until we get driver reviews and the car is in public to be available to be judged for styling, the ads might be a bit ineffective.

it's ugly to have them in front, except that pic of the older cadillac where they used ot design a spot for then, that was ok...pretty nice actually.

no sweat...lol

the overall effect is not very 5 series. in person. the greenhouse is as much an x-type vibe as any bmw.....and no BMW has this accords flabby proportions....i.e. huge overhangs, etc. BMW's usually look taut where this accord has a bit of a flabby waisted look to it. it still looks like a generic asian sedan. i still say it has the 'premium korean' look going.

where the hell did i ever compare the stratus and the accord?

you knew my aunt jasmine?

too tired to type tonight. i can say quickly i thought the interior was a bit too snug considering the hype, the seats are narrow, and that it is not aspirational. however, it is nice enough...nicer than nearly all other midsize. seemed both fresh and dated, and cheap and expensive, all at the same time. trunk is miniscule. its deep, but not very wide or tall in useful space. a very disappointing trunk.

looks very clumsy. pass.

miller lite doesn't taste very good either......

i sat in a new accord for quite a bit at the dealer yesterday. I'll chime in on a few things here when i get a chance.

whilst on the casting couch? Sure!

that gives moviemakers a big sign of relief then.
